Dear Mplus - I ran this first model and I received no error warnings: ANALYSIS: estimator=ml; MODEL: Commit by OC1 OC2 OC3; Beliefs by Company Company2 Company3; NewBond by Newcon1 Newcon2 Newcon3 Newcon4; NewSA by NewSAE1 NewSAE2 NewSAI1 NewSAI2 NewSAC1 NewSAC2; FVal by FVal1 FVal2; FSoc by FSoc1 FSoc2 FSoc3 FSoc4; FEnhanc by FEnhanc1 FEnhanc2 FEnhanc3; FProtec by FProtec1 FProtec2 FProtec3; FUnders by FUnders1 FUnders2 FUnders3; FCareer by FCareer1 FCareer2 FCareer3; OUTPUT: standardized mod(3.84) tech4; However, when I ran a second, reduced model, I received a "correlation greater than 1 for latent variables" warning: ANALYSIS: estimator=ml; MODEL: Commit by OC1 OC2 OC3; NewSA by NewSAE1 NewSAE2 NewSAI1 NewSAI2 NewSAC1 NewSAC2; FVal by FVal1 FVal2; FSoc by FSoc1 FSoc2 FSoc3 FSoc4; FEnhanc by FEnhanc1 FEnhanc2 FEnhanc3; FProtec by FProtec1 FProtec2 FProtec3; FUnders by FUnders1 FUnders2 FUnders3; FCareer by FCareer1 FCareer2 FCareer3; OUTPUT: standardized mod(3.84) tech4; I checked the latent variable correlation matrix in the tech 4 output, and there are latent variables that have a correlation great than 1. Is this a solvable problem, or is this model not a viable one? -Will |

Factors that correlate one or greater are not statistically distinguishable and the model should be modified. |
